klingeme 0 #74 September 9, 2005 QuoteHow often do you think Ben or Carey either one are actually at the DZ? A couple of years back, I spent (in a 3 1/2 period of time) weeks, in three separate trips, at ASC and ben was there the majority of the time, and by ASC, I mean Atlanta Skydiving Center in Cedertown (not Alabama, or Adventure, or Arkasas, or Alaska, or Albany or all the other cities in the country starting with an "A" that the ASC "A" claims to stand for.) Actually, Ben was a great guy. I took him on his first Tube Jump, and he invited my crew to his new house for dinner one evening. I think he is a hell of a guy, it's just a shame he has no scruples. BTW, aside from a slopey, rocky landing area, I think Cedertown is a kick ass dropzone. Especially when Method was there.
